Revisiting my old PUP

Yesterday, after a morning of doing home errrands on my work leave, in the afternoon I visited PUP Grad School to request for a copy of grades and as i anticipated, I would have to go to different offices to request for clearance signature for my request. So I went to library, accounting and cashier. I am no longer used to lining up to pay for school but hey I'm in PUP its a norm. As they say PUP means 'Pila Ulit Pila'. I got tired lining up so I had toknene(quail eggs) and sago't gulaman for merienda and then took stairs to go up to my beloved org, Kalasag Christian Fellowship, the IVCF branch in PUP. Thank God I saw familiar faces and so I went in the tambayan room. They were having exec meeting for 2nd sem activities. It was a blessing to meet them and witness that they are continuing on to do the good work. I remember my college days when I would spend my breaktimes in the same room.

Sesame Street turns 40

Today I opened Google and saw Cookie Monster in Google logo ( yesterday it was Big Bird ) and as I mouse over, it says "Ika-40th Anibersaryo ng Sesame Street" and my reaction was, Oh! wow they are 40.  I can't help but count how old Sesame was when I was born? They were only 9. Now you're counting my age...Okay anyway, I feel sad that kids nowadays don't know Sesame Street anymore. They are missing all the fun of counting 1-10 with count and singing ABC with the muppets, kermit, big bird, monsters and all the kids in the cute and fun episodes of Sesame Street. It was like the english counterpart of Batibot for us then.  Now that Sesame is 40, kids then have also grown but well remember the daily telly habit of watching favorite kids programs. I wish that TV networks today will have more child friendly shows that teach basic school lessons with clean entertainment just like Sesame Street and Batibot back then.  Hope to see more substance in kids tv programs...
